Too Much Aruging

Luis Rojas just received some extra vacation:

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas was handed a two-game suspension and an undisclosed fine by Major League Baseball on Monday for “excessive arguing” with umpires during Sunday’s 7-6 win over Pittsburgh.

Rojas will begin serving the suspension during Monday’s game at Cincinnati.

He argued a fair-foul call that was not reviewable. Having replay means you can’t argue long, even if the play does not involve video. A suspension seems a bit harsh, however.

Update: A reader indicated that Rojas likely bumped an ump. That’s very different. Excuse my Emily Litella moment.
